Oaxaca boasts some of Mexico's most varied natural terrain, from tropical forests, to majestic mountains and lush valleys. There is also a stunning rugged Pacific coastland, with serene beaches with soft white sands. With so many fascinating sights to see here, the best thing to do is to prebook car hire in Oaxaca right here with us today.
Oaxaca is a charming and vibrant colonial city. Friendly to pedestrians, the zocalo (main plaza) is completely closed off to traffic, and surrounded by cafés and restaurants which make it a perfect setting for a relaxed drink. The city's cathedral, dating from the 18th century, is worth a visit to see the magnificent carvings in stone along its front façade.
The Palacio de Gobierno (Government Palace) boasts some great architecture both inside and out. Iglesia de Santo Domingo is an impressive-looking church worth visiting. Oaxaca’s oldest church was built around 1521. Although Iglesia de San Juan de Dios is a simple church, it is popular with the local people.
The city’s best museum to visit is the Museo Regional de Oaxaca which has displays of artefacts taken from the Monte Alban's Tomb Number 7, which contained corpses, gold and jewellery. Another fascinating Museum is the Rufino Tamayo Museum of Pre Hispanic Art, displaying pre-Hispanic collections. If you have time try to visit the Museum of Oaxacan Contemporary Art, including contemporary Mexican art collections, including Francisco Toledo, Rufino Tamayo, Rodolfo Morales, Rodolfo Nieto and others.
Traditional Mexican-themed night parties are popular with the locals. Shoppers will enjoy the myriad of shops and galleries which brim over with quality goods from all over the valley. Alternatively, markets make shopping an even deeper cultural experience. Trips to surrounding villages provide an opportunity to see artisans creating finely crafted products.
During religious holidays (Christmas and Easter) and the Guelaguetza festival in July, Oaxaca can get very busy as Mexicans go on holiday in the region and many Oaxaqueños return home to their families for the holidays. If your travel plans involve visiting this area during these times, be sure to book ahead.
